Who should pick drops
Around one in three adults report difficulty swallowing pills. Drops suit them, along with anyone who already takes several tablets a day and wants a different kind of routine.
Who should pick tablets
If you cannot stand any garlic taste, travel constantly or want the lowest cost per day, a tablet may suit you better.
Does absorption differ?
There is limited direct research comparing drops and tablets of the same garlic. What is known is that the key aged garlic compound, SAC, is water-soluble and well absorbed (Ried 2016, Journal of Nutrition).
